Important notes for users in the

U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13

Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1

Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2

Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,

A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3

Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

¶ As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

– Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.

– Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.

– Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Advarsel: Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion.

Undgå utsættelse for stråling.

Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært indkoblet og ofbryder ikke strømmen fra nettet. Den indbyggede netdel er derfor tilsluttet til lysnettet så længe netstikket sidder i stikkontakten.

S

Klass 1 laseraparat

Varning! Om apparaten används på annat sätt än i denna bruksanvisning specificerats, kan användaren utsättas för osynlig laserstrålning, som överskrider gränsen för laserklass 1.

Observera! Stömbrytaren är sekundärt kopplad och bryter inte strömmen från nätet. Den inbyggda nätdelen är därför ansluten till elnätet så länge stickproppen sitter i vägguttaget.

SF

Luokan 1 laserlaite

Varoitus! Laitteen käyttäminen muulla kuin tässä käyttöohjeessa mainitulla tavalla saattaa altistaa käyttäjän turvallisuusluokan 1 ylittävälle näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle.

Oikeus muutoksiin varataan. Laite ei saa olla alttiina tippu-ja roiskevedelle.

Huom. Toiminnanvalitsin on kytketty toisiopuolelle, eikä se kytke laitetta irti sähköverkosta. Sisäänrakennettu verkkoosa on kytkettynä sähköverkkoon aina silloin, kun pistoke on pistorasiassa.

General Information

This product complies with the radio interference requirements of the European

Community.

Environmental Information

All unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We have tried to make the packaging easy to separate into three materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).

Your system consists of materials which can be recycled and reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Supplied accessories

– 2 speaker boxes

– remote control

– AM loop antenna

– FM wire antenna

Safety Information

● Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or the voltage indication beside the voltage selector) of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. If not, please consult your dealer.

● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable surface.

● Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

● If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens of the disc unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD player would not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the system until normal playback is possible.

● The mechanical parts of the set contain selflubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.

● When the system is switched to Standby mode, it is still consuming some power.

To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.

Rear connections

The type plate is located at the rear of the system.

A Power

Before connecting the AC power cord to the wall outlet, ensure that all other connections have been made.

WARNING!

– For optimal performance, use only the original power cable.

– Never make or change any connections with the power switched on.

To avoid overheating of the system, a safety circuit has been built in. Therefore, your system may switch to Standby mode automatically under extreme conditions. If this happens, let the system cool down

before reusing it (not available for all versions).

B

Antennas Connection

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna and FM antenna to the respective terminals. Adjust the position of the antenna for optimal reception.

AM Antenna

● Position the antenna as far as possible from a TV,

VCR or other radiation source.

3140 115 30053

FM Antenna

● For better FM stereo reception, connect an outdoor FM antenna to the FM AERIAL (FM

ANTENNA) terminal.

C

Speakers Connection

Front Speakers

Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS terminals, right speaker to "RIGHT" and left speaker to "LEFT", coloured (marked) wire to

"+" and black (unmarked) wire to "-".

1 2

● Fully insert the stripped portion of the speaker wire into the terminal as shown.

Notes:

– For optimal sound performance, use the supplied speakers.

– Do not connect more than one speaker to any

one pair of +/- speaker terminals.

– Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.

Preparations

Optional connection

The optional equipment and connecting cords are not supplied. Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment for details.

Connecting other equipment to your system

Connect the audio left and right OUT terminals of a TV, VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD player or

CD Recorder to the AUX IN terminals.

Note:

– If you are connecting equipment with a mono output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to the AUX IN left terminal. Alternatively, you can use a “single to double” cinch cable (the output sound still remain mono).

Inserting batteries into the remote control

Insert two batteries (not supplied) type R03 or

AAA into the remote control with the correct polarity as indicated by the "+" and "-" symbols inside the battery compartment.

CAUTION!

– Remove batteries if they are exhausted or will not be used for a long time.

– Do not use old and new or different types of batteries in combination.

– Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed off properly.
